Abstract:
|
The case discusses allegations of anti-employee practices against the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart, in the early 21st century. It examines the various unethical and illegal human resource practices that employees claimed Wal-Mart was following particularly discrimination against women and the prevention of unionization. Detailed information is provided about instances of discrimination against female employees. The case also brings to light the apparently complacent attitude of Wal-Mart in eradicating the above problems, despite being aware of them for a long time. The case seeks to study the impact of the allegations of labor rights violations on the employees, the company's image and its future performance.
